How long does it take to lighten extremely dark hair in the sun with lemon juice?

I have Blackish red hair, and I want to lighten it the most natural way I can.

So how long would lt take to Iighten it?How long does it take to lighten extremely dark hair in the sun with lemon juice?
You wouldn't see a significant difference unless you did it everyday for two hours for about two weeks. And even though it's a more ';natural'; way of lightening your hair, it will do a ton more damage, because it's liker bleaching your hair everyday. If you're wanting subtle highlights, then this is the way to go, but if you're wanting to go a full shade or two lighter, I'd suggest getting it done at a salon and lightening it chemically.

lemon juice will not work, you need to go have it done by a hair stylist
Lemon juice will most likely not work with extremely dark hair. It will just turn it a nasty orange. =/

You could try to add some water with lemon juice, but I wouldn't risk it. You should get it done at a salon.
Well first of all lemon juice is far worse for you than bleach is, it is a straight acid. Where did you get the idea that natural was good? Horrible, deadly, damaging chemicals come from nature. The media has given you an image of natural meaning cotton and apples... well natural is also sulfur, methane, anthrax, etc. So knock it off. Second, lemon juice, any lightener in fact, does just that: lightens, they cannot tone. Hair has undertones to it; red under black, oranges underneath browns, and yellow underneath blonde. These are exposed when you lift. So no matter what you use to go lighter it is going to go straight to orange. And there is NO ';natural'; way to get rid of that orange, it has to be toned with an ash dye. Lemon juice cannot lift very high, about one level, and it will absolutely trash your hair; drying it out to the point where you will have to have it cut. Bleach just disperses molecules, but it has a conditioning agent in it to spare you that damage. So you cannot naturally go lighter unless you already have blonde hair (which will just pull light yellow), and you don't.
